About USAA

Learn about our history and mission

Our mission is to empower our members to achieve financial security through highly competitive products, exceptional service and trusted advice. We seek to be the #1 choice for the military community and their families.

Our History

USAA was founded in 1922 when 25 Army officers decided to insure each other's vehicles. Over time, their tiny organization has grown to serve millions in the military community.

Our Finances

We stand financially strong so we can serve our growing membership and invest in ways that will help us better serve them in the future.

Our Operating Companies

We're among the leading providers of insurance, banking, investment and retirement solutions to members of the U.S. military, veterans who have honorably served and their families.
